Florida Man’s Advances Turned Down By Rattlesnake

A Florida man definitely took romance too far when he rebuffed all human advances (as it is) and tried to kiss a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake didn’t take too kindly to the man’s affections, snubbed his advances and rewarded him with a bite which was near fatal. Good for him though, he is recovering in hospital.

The snake in question was found by Charles Goff, a resident of Putnam County, in the north-east of the state, on Monday and he decided that the best thing for him to do was to have some lip-locking with the reptile.

A day later, neighbor – Ron Reinold, started playing with the snake (seriously, who would do that?) and went beyond offering his affections; he made the move and was rewarded with the bite.

Ron Reinold has since been airlifted to hospital and is now recovering.

According to the man that found the rattlesnake – Charles Goff:“One boy said, ‘I’m going to kiss it in the mouth,’ and the snake bit him in the face. Ron was just acting silly, you know? I guess he said he could kiss the devil and get away with it, but evidently, he didn’t.”

According to First Coast News, the victim is now conscious after the ordeal but he had previously been in critical; condition with the medical staff fighting to keep him alive to kiss another day.
The snake is also believed to have escaped after the event.
We’re still wondering why Ron Reinold tried to kiss the rattlesnake.
